Make a Hi-tech Multi Tool Lego NXT Pencil Case!
Hi, and welcome to this Instructable.
I built this because I'm going back to school soon and I want to show off to my friends my new cool pencil case!
I will give you an guide on how to build a cool lego pencil case but the finished project may look different to mine as i don't have step by step instructions.
My pencil case includes a hands free opening solution,
a pop out watch and a paper shredder (chainsaw).
It will also automatically shut the lid after 1 minute
I will try to upload the programming sample rbt file as soon as nxtlog approves of my project.
Here is a video to see it in action
